Notes: A very interesting story of a young Apache who came to the mission of Tumacácori at the age of thirteen years is told in the following quotations from Padre Gutiérrez:
288 - Estevan Mallen, Apache adult. In the year of the Lord 1807, I, Fray Narciso Gutiérrez, presbyter apostolic minister for His Majesty in this mission of Tumacácori, today, May 4th, solemnly baptized an adult Indian of the Apache nation, who came from the gentility, and is about 12 or 13 years of age. He was first instructed in the Christian doctrine and, at his request, I gave him the name Estevan. His godparents were Ramon Rios who is married to Gertrudis Borboa and they live together here in this mission; and Manuela Gonzáles, the widow of Lucas Miranda and a resident of the presidio of Tubac. I advised them of their spiritual parentage and other obligations, and for this truth I signed on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), minister for His Majesty at Tumacácori =
156 - Estevan Mallen and María Dolores Gonzáles. In the year of the Lord 1807, the three banns prescribed by the Holy Council of Trent having solemnly preceded on three consecutive feast days: the first on November 8th, a Sunday; the second on the 15th, a Sunday; and the third on the 22nd, I, Fray Narciso Gutiérrez, presbyter apostolic minister for His Majesty in this mission of Tumacácori, on this day, the 28th of the same month, in the church asked Estevan Mallen, an Indian of this village, and María Dolores Gonzáles, an Indian also of this village and of the Apache nation, if they desired to be joined in matrimony and, having received their consent according to present church policy for true and legitimate marriage, I solemnly joined and veiled them the same day. Present and well-known witnesses were José Ignacio Peralta, married to María Luz Carpio; Juan Legarra, married to Pilara Arcayos; and Chrisostomo Zúñiga, married to Salvadora de la Torre, all from this village, and for this truth I signed on the said day, month, and year as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), minister for His Majesty =
167 - Leonardo Mallen, Apache infant. On the 25th of December in the year of the Lord 1813, Leonardo Mallen, an infant of one month, in union and communion with Our Holy Mother Church, returned his soul to God in this village. He is the legitimate son of Estevan Mallen and Dolores Gonzáles. His body was buried on the 26th of the same month, and for this truth I signed as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric), minister for His Majesty. =
53 - Estevan Mallen, married to Dolores Gonzáles. On November 21st in the year of the Lord 1816, Estevan Mallen, an Apache married to Dolores Gonzáles and of the age of 22 years, returned his soul to God. He confessed and received the extreme unction. His body was interred on the 22nd, and for this truth I signed as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez (rubric) =
57 - Dolores Gonzáles, widow of Estevan Mallen. On December 12th in the year of the Lord 1816, Dolores Gonzáles, widow of Estevan Mallen, of the Apache nation, and of the age of 24, in union and communion with Our Holy Mother Church, returned her soul to God. She received the holy sacraments from Padre Matias and her body was buried on the 13th in the cemetery. For this truth I signed as above. = Fray Narciso Gutiérrez
